I don’t mean to brag, but I kind of started a revolution. A clean eating revolution up here in Iceland – which is generally considered a pretty clean country already! To date 7 thousand people have attended my lectures and seminars and I have sold over 10 thousand copies of my clean eating book 30 Days – A Way to a Better Lifestyle. That’s in a country with a population of 330 thousand people and about 185 thousand households. So my book should exist in about 5% of Icelandic homes – not bad. 🙂 So I figured, it was time to take this further – it’s time to go global – and here I am!

To date I’ve seen fantastic results from my clients and those following my clean eating program:

People with diabetes have been lowering their blood sugar levels from 8 down to 4 in 20-30 days

People suffering from oesophageal reflux have recovered greatly and some have even been able to stop taking medication for their condition.

People suffering from high cholesterol have often been surprised at all the fat and eggs my clean eating plans contain, but many of those that have contacted me are seeing an average lowering of their cholesterol from 8 to 5.

Many fibromyalgia patients have seen great results simply through 30 days of following my clean eating plan.

In addition to this, tons of fat and excess water have disappeared and centimetres and inches have been greatly reduced.

It’s simple really – clean eating is eating the way nature intended! As natural as possible.

Clean eating is also a great way to find out what kinds of foods negatively affect your body, so that you can avoid them in the future and feel much better for it.

What is NOT clean food?

Processed foods are not clean!

Pasteurized dairy products

Sugar in all processed forms, unless raw honey

Processed and cured meats

Machine processed wheat, corn, maize and other corn

Artificial sweeteners and colorings

Alcohol

Soda drinks

Refined salt

Genetically modified foods

Farmed fish

Regular chicken – we want free range 😉

Trans fats and other hydrogenated oils

A lot of these things may be causing you trouble. You may think you’re fine eating some of these – but until you test it, you won’t know. Wouldn’t you rather find out what these things are doing to you than miss out on feeling fantastic?!

Let me help you eat clean!

So, people are talking about The Clean Viking and here’s some of what they’ve been saying:

“There are no extremes, merely guidance in a direction that agrees with the body. I wasn’t looking for a magic pill or short term solution. I wanted changes to my diet that I could maintain. I learned what to avoid and what I could add instead. Without dramatic changes I completely changed the way I eat to the better. I was eating nutritionally better and better in every way. By adding a couple of weeks of training I started seeing great results. My pants got bigger, causing a fun (but expensive) problem which required new pants.”

– Birkir Orn Stefansson, retail manager

“David’s book, 30 Days – A Way to a Better Lifestyle is simply great! It is a timely and forthright truth about how easy it is to change your lifestyle and the way you eat in a way that you can maintain and without it being too hard. David is blunt in his discussion about the benefits of eating natural and unpolluted foods and makes it easy for you with varied meal plans and resources that are both simple yet effective. … By doing things the way David encourages you to do you can regain your strength and health – no matter how you feel today, and take matters into your own hands to gain happiness and prosperity. You and yours deserve that. Thank you, David, for your contribution.”

“David’s 30 days of clean eating program is ideal for people to test their way and find the foods that are right for them. I went through the program and liked it so much that I have maintained since. The program is first and foremost about eating clean and unprocessed foods without any extremes or magic solutions. The biggest benefit I found was much faster and better recovery after a tough training session. It doesn’t hurt that clean food is simply by far the best food!”

– Helga Margret Thorsteinsdottir, heptathlete and medical student

“Throughout the years I’ve tried most of the fat burning pills, powders, diets and anything else out there in search of feeling better and getting more fitness results. I have been systematically doing fitness training for over a decade and have also been a trainer myself. About a year ago I was about to give up. Non stop pain in my joints, bloated, tired and fatigued. That’s when I tried David’s 30 days of clean eating program. The recipes are simple and don’t have an endless list of ingredients, and they taste good. Following the 30 day program the stomach aches were gone, I was not bloated, my joint pains had all but disappeared and I was full of energy. In this past year I’ve pretty much followed the program to a tee, I’ve never felt better and never been in physically better shape. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this program for anyone looking for better health and fitness.”

– Katla Hildardottir, nurse

“I started following the 30 day clean eating program to learn how to eat right and listen to my body. I have never felt so good, both mentally and physically and I have learned so much. Eating clean is not complicated, it requires some organization to begin with but then it becomes a routine. I’m not complaining either that I lost 6 kilos in a short amount of time.”

So who is this Clean Viking guy anyway?

He works as a trainer and lectures extensively on training, nutrition and lifestyle using a holistic approach.
